Factor1 N/cm² = 10000 Pa

Converter

N/cm²

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
10000Pa

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
Pa = N/cm² × 10000

Multiply any value in newtons per square centimetre (stress) by 10000 to obtain the value in pascals (stress).

Worked example

Convert 1 N/cm² to Pa.

  1. 01Start with 1 N/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 10000 = 10000 Pa.
Result1 N/cm² = 10000 Pa

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from N/cm² to Pa?
1 N/cm² equals 10000 Pa. To convert, multiply the value in newtons per square centimetre (stress) by 10000.
How do I convert 1 N/cm² to Pa?
1 N/cm² = 10000 Pa. For any value, multiply by 10000.
How do I convert Pa back to N/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0001. So 1 Pa = 0.0001 N/cm².
When would I need to convert newton per square centimetre (stress) to pascal (stress)?
Stress conversions between N/cm² and Pa are routine in mechanics-of-materials work: yield, ultimate and allowable-stress specification, Young's-modulus tables and structural-design code calculations. MPa and N/mm² dominate ISO and European datasheets, psi and ksi dominate US structural codes, and kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² appear in legacy JIS and heavy-engineering documentation. Stress is the same physical dimension as pressure but a different engineering quantity — this category is mechanics-of-materials, not process pressure.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
